Hello - My x220 does not lock into Mini Docking Station Series 3 that I bough recently. The rubber pads on the battery seem to be preventing the laptop from being docked. (Not sure if I am doing something wrong instead.) Also I am trying to set up a multi monitor display ( Dell U2415). Will appreciate some inputs on how I should resolve both the issues or a link if that has been covered before .

Hi!I have a Latitude E7740 that runs Ubuntu Xenial (16.04). I dock it to a "Dell EURO2 Advanced E-port II" docking station. If I boot it in the docking station, everything works fine, and I find all my two DVI-connected monitors. However, if I undock, then put it into the dock again while running, it fails to enable the screens. I'm using a script called autorandr for switching between display modes - it uses xrandr. It tries to run:xrandr --output DP1-1 --gamma 1.0:1.0:1.0 --mode 1920x1200 --panning 0x0 --pos 0x0 --rate 59.95 --reflect normal --rotate normal --output DP1-2 --gamma 1.0:1.0:1.0 --mode 1920x1200 --panning 0x0 --pos 1920x0 --rate 59.95 --reflect normal --rotate normalBut the X server responds with:X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) Major opcode of failed request: 140 (RANDR) Minor opcode of failed request: 21 (RRSetCrtcConfig) Serial number of failed request: 48 Current serial number in output stream: 48Running this exact command after booting in the dock is doing the right thing, but after undocking then docking, it doesn't work.Any ideas here? I have updated to the latest BIOS version.Problem also reported in launchpad with lot's of debug info, here:bugs.launchpad.net/.../1585884Autorandr script is here: github.com/.../

Hi, What is your laptop ? Does it have docking port and use a PROPER docking station ? If YES for both then yes, docking station will changer the battery on laptop, Normal USB port replicators (vendors also call them as docking startions) won't charge battery on laptop. Regards.

Does anyone know which Docking Station I should pair with my Spectre x360 15-ap007na 4K (T1D64EA#AB)? If anyone from HP reads this, it would be very useful to have a search equivalent of Care Pack Central for compatible Docking Stations. With thanks, Colin

I purchased a refurb'd IBM THINKPAD 570. It has the docking station. I have never worked with a laptop before and do not know anything about them. My question is: If I am not using the CD/DVD, or floppy, what, if any, are the advantages to keeping it docked? If I play music in the Windows Media Player, does the docking station improve the sound quality?

A:Docking Station

...the docking station is just there so you don't have to screw around with cables every time you get into work. They don't improve anything except time management.

It will be from the old computer running Windows XP to a new computer running Windows 7.

The old computer has files which I have accumulated over a number of years, it is a mixture of those used rarely, used frequently and junk.

The chances are some of the files will never be used again, but they just might be wanted at some future date. I am therefore reluctant to scrap anything. Neither do I want to put a lot of possibly unnecessary files on the new computer.

I need to be able to search the old hard drive and recover a file if it is wanted.

The old computer is about 9 years old and is slow and may not be worth upgrading.

I now have two computers and one monitor and I am not sure what would be the best route.

I have not used a Docking Station before but thought this could be a possibility, on Amazon I found:

Is there a docking station compatible with the 450 G2 that anyone is aware of?

A:450 g2 Docking Station

Hi, It does not have docking port therfore any USB port replicator will do. There are many USB 3.0 port replicators around, depending on how do you want to use the dock, the following one would be more suitable for your machine: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/products/oas/product-detail.html?oid=5278439 Regards.

HI there - I currently use a HP 840G1 model laptop at my workpace, with a Hp 2013 Ultraslim docking station. I have a docking station at home and work, and would like to find a laptop for personal use that can also be docked on this docking station - can anyone tell me what laptops I should be looking at? Thanks Anna

I have a Dell D620. When i connect to my docking station. I can not access my my wireless, air card or lan connection.

A:Docking Station

I have plenty of these docks in my company, and have had a few god bad. That would explain the LAN net working, but your wireless and air card shouldn't be affected in any way. Are you saying that if you are connected to your network by wireless, and you dock your laptop...then connection drops and the card disables?

I put my (new) Elitebook 8460p into a (new) HP 90W Docking Station. The docking station does not have a lock. I turned the laptop off but it won't eject from the docking station. The eject button only goes down about 1/8". Does anyone know of a way to release the laptop when the docking station eject button does not work?

A:docking station

I too am having the same issue. Is there a solution to this? I'm ready to yank the laptop out of the docking station...

Hello Everyone,I could use a little help solving this problem. I purchased a removable hard drive that I patitioned to save my master hard drive image with Norton Ghost. Well I now have the image on what I will call the G: drive and removed the IDE ribbon from the master hard drive and pluged into the removable hard drive hoping it would boot and this would be all over but when I boot I get a message NTLDR is missing. Am I missing something here?Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,Chip

I had posted a question about a docking station and posted to XP/2000 forum.............wrong forum sorry.please accept my apology,Chip

I'm looking for a relatively inexpensive docking station for my dell 1420 laptop and didn't have a clue where to start. Well, I did start looking but everything I found was well over $100 dollars so I chose to ask the forums where everyone knows about computers.

I want it to be able to hook me into my 17in lcd, printer, mouse, keyboard, ethernet (internet), and power.

Just got docking station, D9Y32AA, "2013 UltraSlim Docking Station". Connecting computer seemed to be straightforward and simple enough. Just wondering if there are any hidden capabilities inherent in the device that I might exploit. I am not considered a "power user" though I do use most of the MS Office Apps to include PowerPoint, Outlook, Excel and Word. Also, will turning off the power at the Docking Station keep the computer's internal battery from charging? Is there danger in the battery being damaged by staying connected to the docking station power too long? Thanks for your thoughts, CW

A:New Docking Station, D9Y32AA

Hi, No official manual for the product but the main advantages: more ports, more connectivities. For the last 2 questions: This will draw more power from battery and would kill battery quicker (need more charging cycles).I posted my observations few times: Our department have an offsite room for BCP and we keep same configuration for all our laptops in that room as the same of our normal day-to-day laptops, only one difference: they sit on docking stations and power on 24/24. After 2 years, their batteries are much better than batteries on our day-to-day laptops.Regards.

I was wondering if anyone has had any experience using a Non-Toshiba supplied "docking station" on a Toshiba consumer grade "Satellite" laptop ?

I had purchased one of Toshiba's PA3575U-1PRP dynadock U Universal USB Docking Stations, but found the video performance so bad that I returned it. Even non-movie type applications, such as loading web pages, were excruciatingly slow, choppy and painful. And yes, my Toshiba laptop is up to the task being a late model with Dual Centrino Core 2 processor / 2-GB RAM / 7200RPM drive / 128-MB of shared video.

I see where both Belkin and Kennington offer similar units. (Note, on the NewEgg site the Kennsington model is also rated as being very poor in video response as well !!) There may be others ?

What has been your experience and your recommendation ??

Ideally, I want to be able to connect my Toshiba laptop with a single cable and not have to mess around screwing in the monitor cable, along with plugging in the PS2 plugs for the mouse and keyboard. Something you have to do if you simply rely on just a USB port extender.

Has anyone tested some docking solution for Yoga 3 Pro? I need to connect one [email protected] monitor and one VGA (d-sub) projector, 4 USB 2.0 devices.(also LAN port and e-sata would be usefull for me, but not necessary) Is there some tested, goog working solution for this? And moreover one crazy questiuon: would be possible to use come wirelless option? wifi direct or bluetoth to conned usb devices and sound at least?Thx..

I have an home office and received a docking station for my laptop which I need help setting up since I have never done so before. I also need to network this computer to my home printer which is in another room in the house.

Thank you,Susan

Hello Susan and welcome to TSG.

What laptop is it ? Please post the full details of the make and model, they will be on a label underneath.

Hi, I am using HP Spectre x360 Convertible 13-w0XX notebook. Could you recomment best docking station for my notebook for personal use. if possible different model (based on features) compatiable with my notebook. Thanks Anzer1

A:Docking station suggession

There is no docking station as such. A true docking station is a snap down unit that has ports on it and also powers the laptop. You have to use a "port replicator" which will provide additional ports but will not power the laptop. So when you connect the laptop to it there are 2 things to connect, unlike a true dock where you just snap it on and everything just works. Fortunately you have 3 Thunderbolt 3 or USB-C ports which are the newest thing and provide the fastest interface. Theoretically you can chage the notebook through them, too. Mixed reviews on how that works but here is the dock you would want. http://www.ebay.com/itm/P5Q54AA-ABB-HP-ELITE-65W-THUNDERBOLT-3-DOCK-/122378687112?hash=item1c7e56928...

Hi,i need to know what dock is compatible for my hp spectre. whether zbook dock is compatible for my thunderbolt 3 and USB-c?I need a dock that can do two display output.is dell thunderbolt 3 dock compatible?

A:CompatibleHi Docking Station

You can't use the Zbook dock with the spectre The Zbook dock has an extra power pin for which there is no place to plug it in on the Spectre. I have both devices so this comes from first-hand experience. The HP USB-C docks like the Elite dock are having issues and I would go with a third party USB-C dock. I have not however tried a dual display output dock on my Spectre. Theoretically each USB-C port can drive up to 4 x 4K UHD monitors I have seen written but not in operation. You might try this: https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-Thunderbolt-DisplayPort-Supports-4096x2160/dp/B01F81EIBC/ref=sr_1_1?...

I am affected by the following bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=101778 and I just cannot get my docking station (40A5) or a thunderbolt based docking station to work properly in Linux with any configuration (nvidia discrete, nouveau discrete, nvidia optimus, nouvau optimus). Nouveau optimus works fine without the docking station and even with external monitors however.What are the fundamental differences between P50 and P51, since it seems to work fine for P50 users?

My laptop pairs and works fine with a bluetooth speaker for audio when off the docking station. But at the office, on a docking station, the speaker does not work. It shows up in the bluetooth devices and pairs fine, but the audio only comes out the laptop. If I hook a speaker line from the speaker to the docking station, the speaker works. But I want it to work wirelessly. Is there some way to bypass this?
